I am trans and a U.S citizen, the UK govt cannot comprehend how hostile I can towards it.

+1 for Fedora being the best distro for getitng out of your way so you can get on with doing stuff.

Republicans have always cared about supporting “the troops” and abandoning veterans. Anyone who buys what they’re selling after… well shit after the parties became what they are today in the early 70’s.

You’re deliberately misreading what I said, and if you think that he didn’t know or wasn’t part of the negotiation as to exactly who was going to vote to end the shutdown amongst senators who wanted it to end but didn’t want their fingerprints on it, I have several pieces of waterfront property for sale. For their part, senators Durbin, King, Hassan, Shaheen, Masto, Rozen, Fetterman and Kaine should not have a place within the Democratic party (Also Manchin, Sinema had she not already fucked off of her own accord).

If you want to be a pedant, there has been no vote on the ACA subsidies other than a failed cloture vote. The vote to re-open the govt passed. The agreement to have a vote on the ACA subsidies was the “compromise” that was the condition of voting to pass the appropriations bill and end the shutdown.

Schumer is neither all-powerful or completely powerless, but he is the leader of his party in the Senate, so he is ultimately responsible for actions taken by Senate democrats. He is either insufficiently committed or insufficiently competent, for the family who’s health insurance costs become unaffordable, it doesn’t really matter which.

Dems are weak because they can’t win elections because they fail to deliver results (because they can’t win elections). The shutdown was the only real lever that they were able to pull unilaterally, they picked the right hill to die on, and ultimately accomplished nothing.

My agenda is being able to leave my job for a year to focus on finishing a degree and a couple of professional licenses without completely wiping out what little savings I’m able to scrape together by delaying every other financial goal and for my peers to have an easier time with similar hard choices. Whatever makes that happen, yeah, I’m fine with.

Yep, knew people growing up who were horribly abused and met more later when I lived in Utah. Disgusting stuff.

He caved in exchange for a vote he knew would fail and logrolled the votes so that the I’ll informed would think he didnt have a hand in it.

The shutdown was painful, but what comes next will be a lot more painful.

G-d forbid a woman have hobbies

Money.

I suspect the enshittification of proton is fast approaching.

If that were the case Trump wouldn’t have even been on the ballot.

Replace spacex with blueorigin and I’m there.

Here’s the reference

Dressing schlubby is how the Nazis are disguising themselves lately.

Pretty sure for those to be entry/exit wounds it’d need to have gone through bone. He wouldn’t be up and walking around if that were the case. The supposed “entry” wound is too ragged to be a bullet or pellet, gunshot entry wounds are the exact size/shape of the bullet.

Likely the canine teeth of some other animal that got a hold of his snout.

I read the comment as 1% that you have to look info it to tell that it’s snake oil.

Monero has value if your threat model includes people who can legally compel banks to give up your information. Cryptos allow for bypassing state sanctions.

Smart contracts are a decentralized alternative to escrow services and maybe allow for the conducting of business without relying on the threat of state violence, provided your use case is something where completion can be determined automatically by a machine (or theirs infrastructure that accommodates for that, but then essentially you’ve just recreated escrow with extra stemps).

GrapheneOS has an option to scramble the numbers on the unlock screen. I don’t know if that’s a base android thing or available on IOS

I really wish the GrapheneOS devs would add duress passwords…

+1 for heliboard, been using it for a while and its a great replacement for Openboard.

Disregard productivity, acquire comfy rice.

A single state is still a large market to pass up, and tooling costs make it impractical to manufacture different versions of things.

Even for software, the US experiences positive externalities of the GDPR and the rest of the US does from privacy laws in California and Illinois (likely others that I don’t know off the top of my head)

State laws also often serve as the prototype for federal ones.

It should be federal, but this is absolutely good news.
